a productivity roundtable is when you upgrade a regular round table to have a lazy susan on it, thus making it vastly more productive

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT FROG.” He has already made at least one run on the stove. A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

big new scrolly feature from us looking at the political mechanics of how the greens lost three seats and a leader. I built a three-cornered contest calculator for this, it was very interesting! www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Excellent piece from the data journos at @australia.theguardian.com explaining the mechanics of why the Greens lost seats - widely dispersed votes, redistribution, three-cornered contests and yes, going backwards in the vote.

When RMIT decided to junk a rare, $160k weaving loom, a group of artists, teachers and students united to rescue it. The story of this loom felt like a snapshot of everything that’s wrong with how we treat arts and crafts in tertiary education, so I wrote this: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The race in Calwell is over. Greens preferences have been distributed, with over 68% flowing to Labor. Labor candidate Basem Abdo has 48% of the 3CP, Carly Moore has 29.7% and the Liberal candidate has 22.3%. Moore would need over 91% of Liberal preferences to win. 70% is amore plausible figure.

Not a huge amount of historical data for Taree compared to some BoM sites, but this chart shows that it has indeed been a shitload of rain

Calwell update: 7 candidates down, 4 to go. The vote shares now after the exclusion of One Nation are: - Labor 33.4% (+0.6%) - Liberal 18.5% (+1.6%) - Moore 16.4% (+1.7%) - Youhana 13.2% (+1.1%) - Greens 10.2% (+0.3%) - Moslih 8.2% (+0.3%) Moore is looking pretty strong for making it to the 2CP.

Half of 16-21 year olds wish they grew up without the internet. Is anyone surprised? The internet is now centralised on a few platforms with business models relying on keeping you using, not making you feel good. But it doesn't have to stay this way. @thesizzle.com.au thesizzle.com.au/p/g...
